a

 

redundant

 

Ethernet

 

connection.

 

If

 

a

 

problem

 

occurs

 

with

 

the

 

primary

 

Ethernet

 

connection,

 

all

 

Ethernet

 

traffic

 

associated

 

with

 

the

 

primary

 

connection

 

is

 

automatically

 

switched

 

to

 

the

 

redundant

 

NIC.

 

If

 

the

 

applicable

 

device

 

drivers

 

are

 

installed,

 

this

 

switching

 

occurs

 

without

 

data

 

loss

 

and

 

without

 

user

 

intervention.
